About This Item
New York: Arcade Publishing, Inc., 2003. First Printing, First U.S. Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. The sixth novel in Maitland's highly-praised and increasingly popular police procedural mystery series featuring Scotland Yard's unconventional detective team -- Kathy Kolla and David Brock. This time they investigate the brutal murder of a controversial university professor known for his stand against Islamic extremism but others with other motives may also have wanted him dead. A light, tiny stain at the top of the text's fore edge, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows a small crease on the lower corner of the front flap and just a touch of edgewear, o/w no tears, no chipping, not price-clipped. A collectable copy from this very collectable author.
